Abstract

Gender equality in education is not a novel concept, however how developing countries define equality and provide appropriate education services is a crucial aspect often ignored. This research is focused on developing countries where public services are generally weaker and less developed to provide better understanding of policy processes. The uniqueness of this study is using Feminist Critical Policy Analysis to investigate policy processes in one developing country – Ghana. Ghana provides a great context for studying the interplay between international policy, national policy and the relevant actors and stakeholders. My research opens a small window to the reality of policymaking and project development in Ghana, using qualitative methods focused on exposing policy disconnects and deeper meanings of equality and education
